SUMMARY: This action extends the comment period on Notice No. 96-14,
Commercial Passenger-Carrying Operations in Single-Engine Aircraft
under Instrument Flight Rules from February 3, 1997 to March 3, 1997.
This extension is a result of the formal request by the Joint Aviation
Authorities, supported by certain trade associations, to extend the
comment period. The extension will allow all interested persons
additional time to comment on the rulemaking proposal.
DATES: The comment period is extended until March 3, 1997.

Washington, DC, 20591 (202) 267-8166.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 21, 1996, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) issued Notice No. 96-14, Commercial Passenger-
Carrying Operations in Single-Engine Aircraft under Instrument Flight
Rules (December 3, 1996, 61 FR 64230). Comments to this notice were to
be received on or before February 3, 1997.
By letter dated January 31, 1997, the Joint Aviation Authorities
(JAA) requested that the FAA extend the comment period for Notice No.
96-14 for 4 weeks. JAA stated that they are working on a similar rule
and have had discussions on the proposal among the member countries.
Therefore, they wished to provide a comment which was coordinated among
their member countries; however they needed more time than the current
comment period allowed. Thus the JAA made a request for a 4-week
extension.
The FAA has determined that an extension of time to obtain the
comments on the proposal from the European nations is warranted and
therefore the requested extension is granted. This notice announces
that 4-week extension of the comment period.
Issued in Washington, DC on February 3, 1997.
David R. Harrington,
Acting Director, Flight Standards Service.
